| Isolating Crossovers Outboard crossovers sound better. Direct mechanical coupling of the outboard crossover is another audible improvement that can be easily applied. I have used these methods previous including the Dunlavy SC4's speakers..Tom | |
| Micheal Green Rack Justarack I had one of these some time back. Sound is a little over damped and dark. Replace all the steel hardware with all brass for a nice upgrade in dynamics, stage size and focus.Tom | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs Bill,Your partially right in the mention of the use of a manifold. The application though is to the ceiling and wall convergence in my sound room. Got rid of those horrendous sounding 90 degree angles and recontoured them with 33 degree angles whi... | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs Huh,I said no such thing either by description or by your suggestion have I ever done such a thing. I never accomplished any such feet/feat so completely except for that first time with the Essence amp because it was designed so completly to do so... | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs GrantAnd all who have not heard a difference or very little when direct mechanical coupling their power amps. A short story. 1998 and having owned a Essence power amp for a few years and knowing the builder Dale Pitcher [now of Intuitive Designs}a... | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs Grant,My question was one of inquiry as to the reason why no perceived difference was heard or felt when either assembly was placed under your amps. Thats all. Tom | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs If you don't care to experiment then what is there? Stasis? Tom | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs Grant,Did you place the amps stands you tried directly on the floor or were they placed inside another piece of furniture?While you were at demo with these amps and amp stands what were your source components placed on and enclosed? Tom | |
| Upgrade fuses in Active ATC SCM 50 speakers? The power supply is the first source and is always in the signal path. Anyway in which you can improve the power supply will make for an improvement in signal transfer. I have replaced all the fuses in my system with magnets. The greatest improvem... | |
| What paint sheen? If you had unlimited finances finish the columns with Anti Vibrational Magic {AVM} it works. Next would be a spray stone paint finish available at the Depot or Lowes. If the columns you have now are of the right angle type remove them and replace ... | |
| Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets? If you couple the speakers properly then you don't have to fill anything, worry about toxic abuse or the dark slow muddy sound of over damping a circuit or a speaker. Tom | |
| Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets? At Larry Staples {original to LSA}house one evening who had worked with Von Schweikert. We removed the shot from his prototype speakers under test. Replaced with direct coupled Audiopoints. Less dark more speed and a much more dynamic stage. He ne... | |
| Wool Rugs Stan,If you decide on a large area rug over tile or wood..I would suggest you look into a jute underlayment instead of the typical rebond foam pad. The jute/hair/wool has more surface area and will act as wider bandwidth filter less tuned to a spe... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP Floyd,In my system the Wyred preamp offers as much flesh as my previous Melos or Belles preamps yet with better definition lower noise floor and greater flexiblity. I think neither the Melos or Belles are your traditional thick in the middle tube ... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP Today, I was delivered my order of Vishay Z foil resistors. 2 of these resistors are intended to replace the 100 ohm Dales that are always in the signal path regardless of the resistor setting selected with the volume control. I have in the past r... |
